Hey Big Footy Users,
I am a Monash university Honours student and this year I am writing a thesis on fan behaviour in Australian Sport. As part of my research for this project I am required to collect information from Victorian based AFL football club fans in the form of a short survey. The survey will take no longer than 7 minutes to complete and participants who complete the survey will go into the running for 1 of five $50 gift cards if a provided email address is given (de-identified to your response for anonymity). The results will be kept confidential and will only be used for this research project. Responses can be withdrawn at any time by contacting the researcher’s details shown at the beginning of the survey. If you could spare some time this weekend during a half time break or pre/post-match to help me out that would be greatly appreciated. If you require any more information on the study, please read the following PDF document below. Feel free to share with friends and family members.

*Apologies for those who go for interstate sides. The reason only Victorian clubs have been used is that the next stage of research will be going into the field to do research and I do not have access to interstate venues. If you live interstate but support one of the Victorian clubs I would love you to respond and fill out the survey!

Hey mate, the next stage of the research involves a field experiment and given the lack of access I have on interstate venues and the lack of availability of interstate sides regularly playing in Melbourne I chose to keep it Victorian based. If it was purely an online study I would definitely have included interstate sides. If that changes and we start taking interstate sides responses I will post in the forum

The set of questions after the North Melbourne v Bulldogs one - it was too hard to work out if I was answering questions about my team (Carlton) or one of those teams

Hey Mate,
The answers are meant to be based off the scenario, putting yourself in the shoes of supporting that club. After results are collected it will all make sense as to why it was set out like that. Thank you though for the feedback I will go look and see if I can word the questions better!
